Hidden Emperor Of The Naruto World

During the next week, apart from training and hanging out with his friends, (Tsume, Kushina, and Mikoto. The latter being coaxed into their small band of misfits by Kushina, the bubbly and energetic girl has pretty a good charisma. ) Minato focused on drawing the manga. He decided against writing it as a book, it's far better with images.

So, here he was, in front of the manager of 'Konoha Times', waiting bored out of his mind as this plebeian read his manga in awe.

Having finished the last page of the chapters drawn by Minato, Saito was trembling excitedly. "This...This...this is sensational. No, it's a revolution! A true breakthrough in the literature field! I've never seen a piece like that, not only the plot is interesting, but the images you draw are sensational."

"So, will you published it?" Asked Minato a bit disinterestedly. For a world with superpower, they sure are country bumpkins. Being astonished for merely this level of plot.

"Publishing it, of course, I will do it. But..." Coming here, Saito forced a smile.

"But what?" Raising an eyebrow, Minato was now a bit interested, thinking that this guy was quite good, being able to resist the temptation to sign a contract directly.

"Well, you're still an academy student. So you're considered a child by Konoha laws, you will need the accord of the Hokage if you want to publish it and earn money as a writer. But don't worry! I will immediately book an appointment with Hokage-sama and will vouch for you, I will help you spread your piece of art " Speaking to here, Saito couldn't help but become emotional. People that work in the literature field truly have a hard time in this world, so seeing such a book that could transform his life, he did not hesitate and will give his all to latch on this piece of fat meat.

"Oh" It's been a long time that somebody said he is a child. Kids here are far more mȧturė than where he comes from that he completely forgot that he is now 8 years old in body "Well, let's do it now" 'I really need my money, I hope the geezer will not make me wait too long. Knowing him I don't think so, after all a visit of a cute and genius child is far better than entertaining some paperwork. Without forgetting that an even older geezer than him took over said child, ugh now that I think about it it's pretty disgusting...Meh, it's just mere details.'

The 2 set off for the Hokage tower, where they booked an appointment with the Hokage at the secretary desk.

When they were going to go back, a masked man appeared out of nowhere and spoke coldly "Hokage-sama is expecting you" Without saying anything more, he disappeared.

'Oh, I hope this geezer was not peeping on me with his crystal ball and that he just has good senses'. Looking at Saito, he saw that he was sweating buckets, with a hand on his heart. 'Poor mind, he will not achieve anything great in his life. He can't even take a surprise masked man popping out of nowhere'. It's just that his hyper intuition became an everyday thing for him, that he forgot what it is to be surprised.

The Hokage's secretary led them to his office and went back to work. The door was already open, with the Sandaime expecting them.

The first thing that he noticed when he entered the room is the middle-aged man behind the desk, with brown super sayajin hair and a small brown goatee. But it's not his appearance that grabbed his attention, it's his hyper intuition going haywire because of the huge presence of the Hokage, making him a bit dizzy. Thankfully, With hundred of something years with perfect control of his emotions, it was not hard to hide it even from the Hokage, but he was a bit shaken by his presence, reminded that he is still far too weak for this world standards.

Taking a closer look, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was a bit haggard, like he has suffered some huge setback, making Minato heart skip a beat 'So Uzushio has indeed fallen it seems, it's the only big event around that time. Poor Kushina...Well, it's not like I could have done anything, and even if I could it would have depends if the risk outweighs the benefits. After all, Kushina is my friend, not them.'

"What can I do for you, Minato?" Asked Hiruzen in a gentle fatherly tone, not yet to the point of grandfatherly tone. He was truly glad that something popped up that could distract from the news that he learned. And when he was going to check on the good seedling, he saw that he was booking an appointment so he made him come here.

Nodding to Saito, Minato let him do the explanations.

After skimming through the chapters Hiruzen was a bit astonished, this child unexpectedly has such a good talent too. He is hardworking but is not single-minded like Orochimaru, he is more and more pleasing to the eye. And from the reports, his will of fire burn brightly since the orphanage, with his dream being becoming Hokage.

After listening to the explanations, Hiruzen of course accepted. It was just a small matter to him.

They decide to whip out the contract on place, with Saito company taking care of publishing and printing the books, and receiving only 10%. Even if it will be a loss for him in the beginning, he is willing to gamble it all on this genius kid, and by forgoing benefits, for the time being, he will secure Minato's next books.

Meanwhile, Minato decided to take 50% of the profit and give 40% to Konoha. He did not do it because of a silly thing like wanting to help the village. First, if he gobbles up all the benefits, he will appear like a greedy kid, making the Hokage displeased. And by giving 40%, he forgoes the future headache known as the council. After all, because he has given Konoha benefits, even when his book will become popular and he will rack money, they will not have the opportunity to force him to cough up more money, because of today's generosity. And finally, he chose 50% for himself to paint the image that he is still a kid, and it's normal for a kid to be a bit greedy. Like that, the higher-ups will lower their guards.

Of course, the Hokage could have shut up and not tell anyone that it was him that wrote it. But truthfully, Minato knew that it will do more bad than good. The greedy elders will be looking left and right on who Hiruzen was hiding. So, it's better that he tells them and protect him. And he doubted that the Hokage would have a fall out with the council for such a silly thing like that.

Hiruzen was even more satisfied with Minato, even as a child he thinks of Konoha betterment. And like Minato thought, he completely buy it. For him, it's normal for a kid to be a bit greedy so he was not displeased by the fact that Minato took 50%, but even more pleased. If he had inversed the numbers, he would have thought that the kid was looking for something, and small suspicions would have begun.

Like that, in this room, all the future problems of money of the geezer soul young body Minato were resolved.
